Got a bit spooked earlier on, thinking of going to a pyschic

[Enchilada81]

A woman I know earlier came home from a meeting with a pyschic. Apparantly, my name came up, along with the mention of a newborn baby called Jakob - and it's all associated with the number 8.

I always wanted to call DS2 "Jake" but his father wanted him to be called "Jacob". So we mixed the names together and created Jakob. He wasn't called anything like that in the end but how wierd for her to come up with what is essentially a "made up" name like that?

Aside from that, I am at a complete crossroads in my life at the moment. I have recently decided to go into nursing and am at the bottom of the qualificion ladder, therefore I'm quite excited about the future but nobody else thinks I'll succeed. I have always given stuff up too easily in the past but I'd love to know how this one pans out. If I succeed, it will change my entire life.

Another thing is that I want to leave DH. I wonder if I ever will.

And, I keep having visions of a man, someone I want to marry and spend my life with and I don't know who the hell he is. Wishful thinking maybe?

I'm just so confused. I could do with some guidance or even a hint as to what the future holds.

Does anyone understand? and what's with the Jakob thing? anyone get that?

p.s. DS is not a newborn baby anymore either, he's 9!

go and see one, be open minded... be safe who you go and see, there are some real crooks

Honestly, honestly, honestly, it's cold reading. If you want to leave dh, do it. If you want to be a nurse, do it. If you want to change your life, do it.

Don't wait for permission from a psychic. Take some responsibility/the initiative and change your life for the better.

Sound like a motivational speaker don't I?

Agree with SOH. It would be very nice and convenient to have someone give you all the answers but at the end of the day, I think it's up to us to take responsibility as we steer our own lives.

Sounds like you definitely need to speak to someone though - just to clear your thoughts and work out next steps, goals and plans etc.

ps Jakob is a proper name, although perhaps not an English one, I'll grant you that! Lots of Jakob's in my mum's country although it's pronounced "Yah-kob" (with emphasis on the kob bit).

Good luck!

Jakobs, not Jakob's - gah, suddenly I'm doubting my apostrophes?!

HI, agree with others. Sometimes it can be tempting to visit a psychic to see if they can give you the answers you want/need to hear - but really anything in your life is already in your heart (ie the answers you seek) and only you have the power to take control or change any aspect of it. Save your money and do what your heart tells you.

I believe in visiting psychics if you are looking to contact a deceased loved one, but they can't really give you the 'what will happen in my future' as you have freewill and there are so many possibilities for you. Another choice and it could all change. If you want to retrain then don't let anything stop you - if this is your passion then let your heart sing out. Best Wishes x

If you go to a good, genuine one it isn't cold reading. I agree with indigobarbie though, they can't really predict the future - not in the way we'd like them to. What you might get is some guidance on what will help you right now.

If you really want to retrain then just go for it. It will work out if you decide it's going to.

Jakob, the newborn. I would read into that that maybe there's a new project or an idea that both you and your dh have ideas on and are trying to compromise on.

And the new man, maybe he has the qualities that are missing in your dh, the ones that you are looking for.

A good psychic would be able to work through these things with you and maybe help you realise what your course of action should be in the immediate, but wouldn't be able to make predictions. How your future pans out is really down to you.
